Comment on When EV startups shut down, will their cars still work?
Rinox@feddit.it 3 weeks agoUnless they have a massive infotainment system that requires cloud services to work properly or the main way to access your car is the app on your phone (and other shit like this).
Also who’s gonna guarantee spare parts in case something breaks down in 5 years time? Will I be able to fix their car or will it be a paper weight?

My point was, the same applies to petrol car. They all have infotainment and need spare parts.

I mean, sure, but how many petrol car startups are there?
Regardless, I agree that this in reality is a much wider issue regarding service availability for products you buy. We need laws to regulate the availability of services integral to the products sold
